| | Scott Weiland Happy In Galoshes CD Scott Weiland Discography of CDs
 (6 Customer Reviews)
Scott Weiland hasn't curried much favor with critics, either as the frontman for mainstream grunge outfit Stone Temple Pilots in the 1990s, or as a member of the hard-rock supergroup Velvet Revolver in the 2000s. Yet Weiland's penchant for glam rock and dreamy psychedelia, and his more overlooked gift for pop hooks, are framed nicely on solo records like `98's 12 BAR BLUES and--to even better effect--on `08's HAPPY IN GALOSHES.
Naturally, the stylistic imprint of Weiland's former projects is audible here in the heavy, churning riffs and overt nods to his major influences (Weiland even includes a cover of David Bowie's "Fame"), but it's the idiosyncrasies here that carry the most appeal. Trippy, `60s-influenced drones, Brazilian-flavored excursions, spiky power pop, and Kurt Weil-esque cabaret, among other stylistic adventures, reveal creatively new sides of Scott Weiland on this latest disc
Audio Mixer: Doug Grean.Rolling Stone (p.92) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Weiland is his own man during the ticktock pop of 'Archangel,' a wistful elegy for his late brother."
Spin (p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "With intervention from the boys of No Doubt and production help from Steve Albini, this sprawling album earns a fair hearing."
Billboard (p.41) - "It's definitely more ambitious than anything he did in Velvet Revolver, but it should still please fans of either of his bands."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.54) - "'Missing Cleveland' is a cracking, quirky, swaggering opener, 'Blind Confusion' is another meaty slice of unashamed alternative rock..."
Q (Magazine) (p.119) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "HAPPY IN GALOSHES largely succeeds as a document of a delinquent soul finally coming to terms with his own past."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[H]is confessional lyrics are mostly framed in deceptively light pop songs, referencing late '70s Bowie and Costello..."

i would go w/crack..lol. now that skinny scott bailed on velvet revolver is the band going to blame him for their down falls and talk trash about him like they did axl rose for 17 years..lol. yes they will and they have. overall, this is a weak album but no vision. its a forced album that the main goal is money. you gotta feed that monkey. kinda odd how he jumped ship and now has a tour with stone temple priks. not for the fans but once again money based. this album nor does scott weiland support art of any kind. just a fake, plastic, LA rockstar trying to stay in the game and feed the beast.

Cannot believe some of the poor reviews. This artist has expanded his horizons to a point that many of the meatheads are no longer able to follow.
Only wish this extraordinary double album was also available on vinyl.

Gustav and the Seasick Sailors are back with their third album Brilliant Hands.In 2004, when Gustav released his first album Vagabonds Polka, he wrote about the dream of traveling. This time he conveys his experience of making those dreams come true. All 10 tracks on Brilliant Hands were written on the road and the track Tigers and Kittens was even recorded while touring - in Pittsfield, New Hampshire USA.The sound of the album is bright and folky, somewhat resembling the approach of his debut. But Brilliant Hands, also produced by Gustav himself, clearly displays a more serious and mature songwriter; one who can unravel the finer nuances of heartache as well as expressing the simple joy of being alive. By fully trusting the strength of his material and effectively stripping the arrangements, he manages to let the songs speak for themselves. And thus the album recounts the different handshakes, voices, smells and people that Gustav has ecountered during his travels.In January 2007 Gustav left his sailors back home and went to USA and Canada for a 3-month tour with vocalist and cellist Helena Arlock. They performed 52 shows all over the continent, starting off in New York, and managed to drive coast to coast in less than three days.As Gustav returned to Sweden he gathered The Seasick Sailors and began working on the new record. But things did not go smoothly. ...
